Bottle. Deep opaque brown-black body, medium brown head. Sharp, strong aroma with notes of mint, cocoa, toasted sugars, wood, and booze. Prickly, warming body, with chocolate-covered mints and lots of cocoa; harsh, boozy, and borderline cloying.

Bottle at RBSG. Dark brown pour with a thin beige head. Aroma is simply fantastic? milk chocolate and cinnamon spice, sweet vanilla bourbon notes. Lots of good flavor up front; chocolate and cinnamon. More barrel notes, but it gets hot in the end and leaves on a harsh note.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with Elmanana+1. Bottled 10/27/2016. Brune, col café au lait, doré au verre. Arôme au nez finemetn chocolaté, alcool perce bien en rétro, chocolat avec un effet piment plutôt modéré pour des habaneros. Palais est épais, pas mal d’effets des malts, chocolaté avec une chaleur parfaite des piments qui arrive juste en retrait et titille le fonde la bouche. Garde une inspiration de CCB Hunaphu. Bonne balance avec l’ajout des épices; cannelle et cardamome. La chaleur des piments commence à pointer le bout de son nez sans pour cela devenir trop dominante et encombrante.

”14” marked on the label with pen
Aroma has strong cardamom tones. Also chocolate and coffee. Flavour has spicy tones, cardamom, some mild chili notes, chocolate, cocoa and hints of coffee. Delicious, I like the spiciness here. Reminds me of Prairie Bomb! Like a liquid version of Fazer Cardamom chocolate.

355ml bottle, thanks Sami!
2014 vintage, MFG 10/22/14 - Pours pitch black with a small bubbly head. Aroma of spices, nutmeg, cinnamon, chili and bourbon. Taste is heavy, smooth and heavy with cinnamon, some nutmeg, chili, bourbon, vanilla, spices, roastiness and chocolate. Finish is spicy, peppery and slightly roasty with some bourbon, cinnamon, warming chili and hints of bourbon. Quite nicely balanced despite being quite a spice bomb. I like the warming chili here.
